The Stone Roses formed in Manchester in 1993. With their classic line-up – comprising frontman Ian Brown, guitarist John Squire, bassist Gary "Mani" Mounfield and drummer Alan "Reni" Wren – the band were at the forefront of the 'Madchester' movement of bands playing dance-inflected rock in the late-Eighties and early-Nineties.

They split acrimoniously in 1996, but returned earlier this year to play three sold out shows at Manchester's Heaton Park. Around 150,000 tickets for the first two gigs sold out in 14 minutes. The band also played several European festivals, including V Festival in the UK.

This year's Isle of Wight Festival featured Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Pearl Jam as main stage headliners.

The festival was marred by torrential rain and transport problems, with some festival-goers being forced to sleep in cars as ferry services were suspended and car parks shut due to flooding.

Tickets for Isle of Wight Festival 2013 go on general sale on Wednesday at 9am. Further acts will be confirmed for the festival later this week.
